Cadena de Suministro de Papas de Ucrania

Since the beginning of the week, potato prices in Ukraine have decreased significantly. The main reason for negative trends in the potato market was the beginning of harvesting in the key production regions and, as a result, an increase in the potato supply.

February 24, 2022 was a turning point for both Ukraine and the rest of the world, since the Russian invasion of Ukraine has undoubtedly turned the normal world order on its head.

Nick Gordiichuk - Founder and Managing Director of Agrico Ukraine - offers his unique, inside view on the Ukrainian potato sector, its problems and prospects in this interview with 'Landlord Ukraine'

Ukrainian Potato Day, with a catchy subtitle 'Potato Blockchain', goes ahead on August 26-27, 2021 in Chulakivka, Kherson Region. It is the only specialized event for potato production in Ukraine organized in close cooperation between the Ukrainian Association of Potato Producers and DLG Ukraine LLC.

The Institute of Agrarian Economics jointly with the Ukrainian Association of Potato Producers have developed a state-funded program for the development of industrial potato growing for 2021-2025.

El Instituto de Cultivo de Patata de Ucrania ha desarrollado una variedad de patata de alto rendimiento “Kniagynia” (Princesa), que rinde alrededor de 100 toneladas por hectárea.

En Ucrania, justo antes del Año Nuevo, según los resultados de la auditoría, hicieron un descubrimiento inesperado: prácticamente no quedaban patatas en las instalaciones de almacenamiento.

Ukraine started to import potatoes from Poland, where prices fell sharply due to a significant reduction in consumption by the European foodservice segment.

To support domestic potato growing, the Ministry of Economy plans to ban the import of potatoes from Russia, introduce consultations with the phytosanitary service, and introduce state support for processing.

Despite the fact that potato prices are declining in Ukraine, their reduction so far has not been sufficient to stop the huge flow of Russian imports.
